Of course, reality TV is well known to be anything but. However, some, while being entertaining, truly insult your intelligence in the process. Recently I tripped into one that feeds an old boyhood fantasy - owning a cheap, get the chicks sports car! This testosterone inspired quest started when I bought a virtually stripped TR3 chassis intending to restore it with lunch money and sweat. When I went off to college my dad insisted that I call the Junk Dealer before I left.
So, you can understand my interest in a little British # called WheelerDealers which purports to buy superannuated super cars, dusts them off, little polish here, replacement panel there and turns a tidy profit. Like that insipid Storage Wars series it does a final tally to show you the profit. No overhead allocation for their garage/tools/ etc. and not one dime for the literally dozens of hours of a very high end mechanic. Merde.
Charming guys with English accents - the accent that is the charm apparently for reasons that escape this thoroughly colonial boy - but not a knickers full of merde kudo to your intelligence.
Do you have a nominee? Too embarrassed to admit you watch this stuff?
